By sponsoring a child in Afghanistan, you won't just be helping one child, but all the girls and women in a whole community. Without the basic education that ActionAid projects provide, the women of Afghanistan will never gain control over their land and their bodies.
You'll build a personal relationship with a child in Afghanistan, and a community will receive support with the projects they need to free themselves from a lifetime of injustice.

ActionAid child sponsor Sally Whitaker has sponsored Reena in India for 8 years. Sally's support has helped bring essentials to Reena's village, as well as helping her get an education. Furthermore, child sponsorship also helped educate Reena's whole community about their rights. Sally and her daughter Phoebe recently decided to visit Reena and see for themselves how their sponsorship is helping Reena's family to escape a life of poverty.
ActionAid child sponsorship is the start of an incredible one-to-one relationship between you and child in the developing world.
Hulya was just 14 when she had an arranged marriage with her cousin. Through child sponsorship, you can help the next generation of girls to have a better chance.
How does sponsorship work?
As a child sponsor you'll have a unique connection with a child. But to ensure that your donation is spent as effectively as possible, child sponsorship funds work in the community where your sponsored child lives. So you help not only the child you are sponsoring but also those who are closest to them - their friends and family.
